Based at The Arc Sports Complex at Glasgow Caledonian University, the group runs three nights a week, with 30 to 50 runners of varying abilities taking part.

Jack Kelly, Mens Club Captain of Glasgow FrontRunners, said: “We are thrilled to receive the donation from Eagle Couriers. We met members of its staff at a Park Run event and hit it off from there.

“The cash will help us to continue to provide a group that not only focuses on the health benefits of running but also offers a social opportunity to build and create friendships – whether or not you are part of the LGBT+ community.

“We have many different types of people who take part in our runs of varying levels. Our group is all inclusive, anyone is welcome – we have everyone from serious runners to first timers and those who just want to run a weekly 5K.

“Our most recent challenge was the Isle of Skye Half Marathon. We had a team of over 20 runners attend and all the training really paid off.”

As well as the group recently taking on the Isle of Skye Half Marathon on Saturday 9th June, the Glasgow FrontRunners will also take part in OUTrun in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow on Saturday 18th August.

OUTrun is a five-mile, timed event with a route that mixes flat paths and small hills. Organised by Glasgow FrontRunners, the event is an inclusive sporting event that is open to all and it aims to raise awareness of the lack of LGBT+ community involvement.

A total of 83,077 passengers are expected to land at the airport within five days of Christmas, about 36,000 more than at Glasgow which will be the second busiest Scottish airport.
